The victim was Dennis Kemp, 13, of Laurel. He was celebrating his 13th birthday.

Police said dive teams found Kemp's body in water 45 feet deep shortly after 3 p.m.

Emergency officials received a call around 12:30 p.m. that a teenager was drowning. Witnesses said they saw the boy in distress and watched him go under the water in a roped area where swimming is permitted. Lifeguards tried to search for the boy as rescue crews arrived.

Swimmers must pass a swim test in order to access the deeper section of the lake. Kemp, as well as the rest of the swimmers in a group from the Silver Spring-based Camp Sonshine, had passed the test, officials said.

Immediately after the drowning, county officials announced that the Oregon Ridge Park beach and the pavilion would be closed until further notice.

The Oregon Ridge Nature Center was also closed for the weekend.
